J. R. Benson, our hard-■e and furniture man, broughtth| Methodist presiding elder, Rev.t|s. Barcus, and the new Sham-rock pastor, Rev. R. A. Stewart,to the Boosters club today asguests and It so happened thatcher Stewart sat himself downit next to JAUB, as there was aplate of turkey on the tableTight in front of our seat.Idell, not wishing to match witsa smart preacher on anyiy moral questions, JAUB atOtSSe directed the conversation toWrftball, on which subject incident-Jfc the Methodist pastor could swapfor blow. We had re-playedlost all of the Wheeler, Welling-and Shamrock games and weregetting Into the finer points of thegame, when Reverend Stewart look-ed up at JAUB and asked, oh so inmtly, “Let’s see you're the foot11 coach here, aren’t you?”The business and professional menpresent at the Boosters club todaysure were favorably impressed withthe new Methodist pastor. ReverendStewart has the happy faculty ofseeming to be “one of the fellows,”ho can laugh at a good clean joke,nd yet at all times maintain thedignity becoming the clergy. He isnot so “starched up,” In appearancebut what the layman can meet himon equal fopting. In short, the newpastor and the beloved, Rev. C. E.Jameson whom he succeeded, seemto have very much In common.And Presiding Elder T. S. Barcusajso a man for whom the peopleif Shamrock have the warmest af-ition. .NEANEWSPICTURESTexanCityEditionVOL. 33SHAMROCK, WHEELER COUNTY, TEXAS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1936 NO. 16bPRESIDENT STARTSNEIGHBORLY CRUISETO SOUTH AMERICAINTER-AMERICAN SESSION ISCALLED AT BUENOS AIRESTO DISCUSS PEACEWeaving a Church—With Steelbe Texan advertising departmentow working on a “Turkey Hunt,"I1 tiling stunt, which will beonsored by 25 or 30 Shamrockwhich is gpin?. to be morei for the readers thin you had In■ recent mis-spelled word contest.Ve are going to give away fourturkeys every week from thehe the contest opens until Christ-, It is a contest of questions andswers and we believe will provei most successful advertising pro-ption for the merchants concern-, that we have ever pulled, In ad-don to the fun and prizes theBders will receive.
